Time Does Not Wait For Anybody

Her mirror tells her she looks older she feels time is not on her side
She use hair dyes as well as makeup but the ageing signs she cannot hide
Her body does not look as shapely as it was in her beautiful prime
But then she is not alone in that we all become victims of time.

High cholestrol foods she does not eat one might say she watches her diet
She does not eat chocolate,cream or sugar she does not have a big appetite
She wakes before dawn in the morning and jogs a few miles of the town
Her pet hates are putting on weight and ageing and she has to keep the kilos down.

She cannot recapture her beauty nor she cannot recapture her youth
And she not unlike many others have a problem with facing the truth
That time does not wait for anybody and their better days forever gone
The clock on our lives it is ticking and it never will cease to tick on.

She looks well for one in her sixties she wears makeup and dyes her hair
And she is conscious of her appearance and of herself she takes good care
Yet despite that her body is ageing and her youth and beauty she cannot regain
And in the darkness of the morning she jogs through the town in the rain.
